VANITY CASE.

1 Applieation filedlvlarchbs,1923. sea in, 626,767.

T all whom it may concern: m

Be it known that I, J osErI-r J, CosIN, a citizen of the United States, and ajresident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Vanity Case, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact description.

- This invention relates to containers and .a receptacle for two standard compacts and the puffs or applicators are constructed in such a manner as to eliminate the necessity of increasing the size of the container. The invention furthermore contemplates a vanity case which is extremely simple in its construction and mode of operation, inexpensive to manufacture and produce and highly efficient in its purpose.

With the above recited and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction set forth in the following specification, particularly pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, it being understood that the right is reserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated herein to the full extent indicated by the general meaning of the terms in which the claims are expressed.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a. perspective view of the vanity case fully opened.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view therethrough taken approximately on the line 2-2' of Fig. 1. I

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken approxi mately on the line 33'o'f Fig. 1.

Referring to the drawing by characters of reference, designates the usual standard cylindrical body of the case which is provided with an annular inwardly offset upper end 11 forming an inner peripheral shoulder 12. The'usual form of cover 13 is hinged as at 14 to the body and is provided with a mirror 15, said covering being designed when closed to telescope or fit over the upper reduced end 11. "A" horizontal partition 16 of substantially disk form is arranged within the container body, the same being provided at its periphery with upwardly projecting lugs 17 which snap and engage under the shoulder 12 and with downwardlybent lugs 18 which rest on the P NT bottom 19 of the container body. The central portion of the partition is provided with a downwardly projecting annular flange or boss 20, the lower edge of which also rests on the bottom 19 and defines'withy the bottom a circumferential compartment 21 in which a rouge compact and puff or applicator are received{ In addition'to the rouge compartment, lipstick and eyebrow pencil compartments 22 and 23" may be provided if desired, which latter compartments may be formed by parallel semi-circular depressions in the partition disposed at diametrically opposite sides of the central rouge compartment. A face powder compart-' ment or tray 24 of substantially concentric formation having abottom 25 and an an nular rim 26is' provided to fit within the upper end of the body 10 and normally rest on the partition 16. The face powder compartment or tray 24 is connected to the partition 16 'for axial movement and lateral swinging movement by a stud 27 whichprojects downwardly from one side of the bottom 25' of the tray and extends through an aperture 28. in the partition 16, said stud being provided with a head 29 to limit the axial movement in an upward direction. In order to facilitate the lifting or'upward axial movement of the tray from its nested position within the body 10, the opposite sides of the upper edge at diametrically opposite points are bent outwardly to provide finger holds 30.

In use and operation of the case, when the cover is swung to open position and the user desires to gain access simultaneously to the rouge compact compartment and tray or face powder compartment 24, the finger holds 30 are grasped to lift upwardly on the tray which is then swung laterally to uncover the partition and the rougecompartment as well as the lip stick and eyebrow pencil compartments 22 and 23. It will thus be observed that a twin compact is provided in which the body and cover are of standard construction, requiring only the added elements consisting of the partition disk 16 and the swinging and sliding tray Within said body having a centralopening 1 compartment, a tray having a closed lower 24. hen the-user desires to close the case, the tray 24: is swung to a position concentric with the upper open end of the body where it gravitates and rests upon the partition thus permitting the cover 13 to close. I claim;

1. A twin compact vanity case comprising a body having a closed'lower'end and an open upper end, a cover hinged to said body and engageable over the upper open end, a partition'disk supported horizontally and formed with a depending a annular flange from said opening to define a rouge compact compartment, a tray having a closed lower end v and an open upper. end constituting a face powder compact receptacle, and an eccentric sliding and pivotal connection between the tray and said partition to permit of the withdrawal of the tray from the upper open end of the body and the lateral swinging thereof to uncover the rouge compact compartment.

2. Atwin compact vanity case comprising abody having a closed lower end and an open upper end, a cover hinged to said body and'engageable over the upper'open end, a partitioirdisksupported horizontally within said body having a central opening and formed with a depending annular flange from said opening to define a rouge compact end and'an open upper end;constituting-Ia face powder 'compact'j receptacle,iand an eccentric sliding and p votal connection between the tray and said partition to permit of the withdrawal of the tray from the upper open end of the body and the lateral swinging thereof to uncover the rouge compact compartment, said connection consisting of an apertured portion in the partition and a depending headed stud from the bottom of the tray.

3. A vanity case comprising a body having a closed lower end and an open upper end, said openupper end being of restricted diameter to provide an internal shoulder and an-external reduced upper periphery, a cover hinged to said body and adapted to fit over the reduced open upper end for closing the case, a horizontal partition disk having upturned and downward peripheral lugs respectively engaging the lower end of ofthe body and the internal shoulder, a central opening formed in said partition disk, an annular flange depending from the central opening in said disk to define a cosmetic compartment, parallel depressions formed in said disk at'opposite sides of the opening "to define cosmetic compartments, and a sWingingt-ray having a closed lower end and an open upper end adapted to fit into the upper o'pen end'of the body" and to rest upon the partition, an eccentric openiiig"i0r 1'ied in the partition disk, and a headed stud depending from the tray and extending through theeccentric opening for.

slidably and swingably associating the tray with the body of the casing.
